Jeremey Kenney - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

A SaaS solution that improves efficiency and helps to save time
The tool helps with hidden cloud storage. We can build security practices according to our needs. It is reactive rather than proactive.  The solution must conduct extensive research, build a product based on compression and OCR techniques, and improve scalability.  I have been using the product…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The interface is very good."
"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"The ease of using Box on multi-platforms, including my phone and tablet, along with the collaboration features means I've been able to use it with my family (including my non-tech-savvy parents) for simple sharing, as well as with colleagues for team collaboration."
"The word Box has become a verb at Morehouse College."
"With us being an all Mac managed service provider, we find that the integration Box - Intelligent Content Management has with Finder is really good with the syncing, and it is probably one of the better file-sharing solutions when it comes to that, which is the big reason why we suggest it out to our clients."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"The tool helps with hidden cloud storage. We can build security practices according to our needs. It is reactive rather than proactive."
 

Cons

"Technical support has some room for improvement, but nothing insurmountable."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"The solution must conduct extensive research, build a product based on compression and OCR techniques, and improve scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I have to pay for Box. It could be a little cheaper. On a scale from one to ten, I would give the pricing a five."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"My organization pays for the license."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Iron Mountain Iron Cloud is expensive."
